When is it necessary to carry out a technical inspection
The inspection is required in the following cases
For public and multi-storey residential buildings (groups 2 and 3) - at leastonce every 10 years
Prior to commissioning a building
Before reconstruction, major repairs, or restoration
Before the development of a simplified facade renovation project
When it is necessary to prepare or terminate a building conservation project

Periodic technical inspection of a building may be carried out by a certified construction specialist who has one of the following certificates in the relevant field: a certificate for practicing architecture, a certificate in structural design, or a certificate in the field of construction management and construction supervision.
What does the technical inspection report include
The technical inspection report contains important information about the actual condition of the building, for example:
Mechanical strength and stability of structures.
Fire safety.
Operational safety.
Recommendations for устранение выявленных дефектов and measures necessary to preserve or improve the technical condition of the building.
